I love this cold salad. It can be made a very colorful by using the colored tortellini. Makes great presentation and taste.
Ingredients:
1 package (19 ounces) frozen cheese tortellini (Colored if you like)
1-1/2 cups julienned zucchini
1-1/2 cups julienned yellow summer squash
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
3/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup julienned sweet red pepper
1/2 cup sliced red onion, halved
1 cup balsamic vinaigrette
Making the Salad:
- Cook the tortellini according to package directions.
- In a large skillet, sauté the zucchini, yellow squash and mushrooms in oil until
crisp-tender. - Stir in the garlic, Italian seasoning and pepper. Cook 1 minute longer or until garlic
is tender. - Drain tortellini and rinse in cold water. Place in a large bowl; add the squash mixture, red pepper and onion.
- Drizzle with vinaigrette; toss to coat
- Serve immediately or refrigerate. Serve with a slotted spoon.
